Certainly it is way stronger than it ever was at the outset when the trust took over ownership. They have been very circumspect about how money should be spent, getting value for that money and taking care because there is no back up. The truth is, everyone is going to suffer, including us. It is very difficult but perhaps we have been better placed to help ourselves as best we can. I know there are a number of clubs that have struggled to pay wages prior to this event rather than during it.
Napoli's problems continue to mount with pressure on boss Carlo Ancelotti, who has been linked with a return to Milan. He's reportedly facing the sack after an awful run of form, which has seen the Partenopei fall from title contenders to a side struggling to make the top four. With AC Milan and Liverpool up next – two clubs with 13 European Cups between them – he allegedly has two games to save his job. However, their off-field issues make a turnaround unlikely.

He is not allowed to play in the Champions League because the date for registration has passed, but he can play in all of Barca's remaining 14 La Liga games, possibly picking up a league winner's medal if they overhaul Real Madrid's one-point lead at the top. La Liga need to look at this rule," said European football reporter Raphael Honigstein on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily. It makes sense for goalkeepers.
The final team talk: "You dreamed of this as a kid. Close your eyes, and imagine it" Wigan has a population of 81,000 and there were 31,000 Latics fans at Wembley for the finalSeven of City's starting XI had featured in their 2011 FA Cup final win. None of Wigan's players had played in an FA Cup final before. Wigan skipper Emmerson Boyce: "'Believe' was the big theme right through that cup run. One of the last things Roberto talked to us about before the game was about how we had dreamed we would be playing at Wembley in a game like this when we were growing up.
'Correct Score' punters can try a 2-2 draw. There wasn't a great deal between the pair, who were closely matched in terms of shots and shots on target, when they met in Bristol and that is likely to be the case when they meet in Plymouth on Tuesday. Add in that there was plenty of chances in the initial tie and a relatively high-scoring draw appeals.

Video - Juventus offer star duo to Manchester United in attempt to re-sign Pogba – Euro Papers01:01 Cologne pulled themselves together after the break and Jhon Cordoba twice had the ball in the net but both efforts were ruled out for offside, the first after a long VAR delay. But it was Bayern who scored again when Gnabry collected the ball in midfield, ran into the heart of the Cologne defence and curled his effort past Horn in the 65th minute.
However, Ferdinand defended his decision not to jump ship. At that point Messi was only 20, Xavi and Iniesta were just starting to come through. They weren’t the players they were three or four years later," added the former defender, who spent 12 seasons at United, winning six Premier League titles.
The run began when an 89th-minute goal from Ciro Immobile -- Serie A's leading scorer with 17 goals -- gave them a 2-1 win at Fiorentina and an 83rd-minute goal brought them their first away win at AC Milan for 31 years. Their surprising group stage exit in the Europa League, where they finished behind Celtic and Cluj in their group, could also be a blessing in disguise.
Stuttgart have conceded more goals than they've scored on the road and are now without a win in three on the road, each of which they've lost. During that time, they've scored three and have conceded nine. By contrast, for all they're not prolific winners at home, Darmstadt are tough to beat on their own patch, losing just one of their seven home games this year.
FC Heidenheim will play against Karlsruhe sports club in the German 2nd Bundesliga. For both of the teams, it's important points because the the visitors are playing against the relegation zone and desperately need points.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of Vitoria Guimaraes. The hosts head into this match as the form favourites with three wins and two draws from their last six matches, with their only defeat coming at the hands of the league leaders Benfica. Santa Clara have lost four of their last five matches and despite some decent performances on the road, we expect Vitoria Guimaraes to just do enough to win Saturday’s clash.

Ocotal will face Ferretti in their final home game of the season. It has been a poor season for Ocotal after losing four of their last five games. Ocotal have shown improvement especially in their last game against monagua where they put the hosts under pressure and were able to score a goal despite losing the game.
Health minister Matt Hancock said on Thursday that players should take a pay cut and "play their part" after he was asked about the morality of clubs using the government's job protection funds for non-playing staff while still spending huge salaries on players who are sat at home on full pay. Prominent opposition Labour MP David Lammy had earlier said: "It's criminal that Premier League footballers haven’t moved more quickly to take pay cuts and deferrals.

European football's governing body Uefa is expected to confirm leagues will be allowed to end seasons prematurely when it meets on Thursday, although similar decisions have already been taken in some quarters. Non-league football from tier three and below has been voided and in Scotland promotion and relegation has been decided on current places in leagues below the Premiership. However, another way of deciding who finishes where would be on points-per-game average, although, in England, that would not change the bottom three and would lead to Bournemouth getting relegated on the slimmest of goal differences.
Gravina now hopes the league could finish by 30 June, one month later than scheduled, but admitted it could be extended for another month and suggested clubs should not train at the moment. If the league were to resume at the beginning of May, I would leave the question of training for the moment," he said. Let's leave the boys at home, they have to recover physical and mental energy. On Sunday, Italy reported 368 more coronavirus deaths, a new one-day record in the country.
League leaders Sivasspor play host to their closest challengers, Istanbul Basaksehir, a team two points behind them. Only three points separate the next four teams in the table, traditional giants like Galatasaray and Fenerbahce among that group. The most interesting aspect of this contest is that it pits two teams seeking their first Super Lig title against one another.
There's still a lot of uncertainty and these three or four months, every businessman in the world is still unsure what the effect will be. When Todd Cantwell stepped up to take a penalty in the FA Cup last-16 tie at Tottenham, he wasn't going to miss. With the pressure of a packed crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium watching on, Cantwell nonchalantly approached the penalty spot by doing kick-ups, plonked the ball down and smashed it into the top corner.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) said in a statement that its members had agreed to "explore different communication options to improve the understanding of the decision-making process". It recognised that there was a "growing demand for more immediate information about the referee’s final decisions after a VAR-review.
While Forest Green where licking their wounds over the festive period, Exeter were making sure they took full advantage of the hectic schedule as they managed to claim four wins and three draws from their last seven league matches. Perhaps taking a leaf out of the book of their hosts on New Years Day, a lot of this success was built on the back of defensive stability as they claimed four clean sheets during those same seven outings.
They have won their last four league matches, scoring for fun in the process, and have had a great run at home too. With a 78% winning rate at home, City are second to champions Liverpool on home form and they will be out to extend that here. They have lost just twice at home this season, to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United, and have failed to score in just one of their league matches at home.
It was not long ago that you could say the same about Villa, who went on an identical run at the start of October, but they have lost their past three league games. Villa have not really recovered from losing so late on against Liverpool, and the past few weeks have been a bit of reality check for them. That is what life is like for a promoted team, with as many downs as ups, but I think Villa will be smiling again on Monday night.
Chelsea respects the importance of the work undertaken by Fifa in relation to the protection of minors and has fully cooperated with Fifa throughout its investigation," added Chelsea. However, if Fifa continues to impose inconsistent and unequal sanctions on clubs then it will not only undermine the very purpose of the regulations, but it will also bring into doubt the game's confidence in Fifa being able to appropriately regulate this important area.
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku spoke out about chants about him from United fansCan you appeal to a more tolerant fanbase?New Kick It Out chair Sanjay Bhandari is among those who believe football is more tolerant than it used to be, and believes education and a less draconian approach can bring success. That includes fans policing themselves and targeted messages from managers and players, which carry more weight.
Maguire: "I know I caught him and I felt he was going to fall on me and my natural reaction was to straighten my leg to stop him. It wasn't a kick out and there was no intent. I think it's the right decision. I apologised to him and it was nice that the referee saw sense. Chelsea get a corner which defender Kurt Zouma directs into the net, but United claim a foul on Brandon Williams. Williams was indeed pushed by Cesar Azpilicueta, but only after the Chelsea skipper himself had been shoved by Fred.

Tottenham players pay price for Dublin bashIt’s not often that Harry Redknapp goes on the warpath but, while he was in charge of Tottenham, he did just that after a golfing break to the Republic of Ireland was used as a pretext for an unauthorised Christmas party. Instead of his players hitting the Irish fairways, they spent an afternoon in a Dublin pub before heading on to a nightclub. They returned 72 hours before a 1-0 Premier League defeat to Wolves in December 2009.

He may opt for a similar selection this weekend, but a pair of intriguing options are available. Firstly, teen star Ansu Fati offers width, goalscoring and a welcome dose of the unpredictable, and his inclusion would add another dimension to the team's otherwise undermanned attack. The real wild card, however, could be former Middlesbrough misfit Martin Braithwaite, who became a surprise emergency signing last week after Ousmane Dembele was sidelined for six months.
